• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV653 - Background processing in test run ?

  The SAP error message KV653, which states "Background processing in test run," typically occurs when a background job is executed in a test mode rather than in the actual execution mode. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and solution can help you resolve the issue effectively.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The job is configured to run in test mode. This is often done to verify the job's behavior without making any actual changes to the database or system.
  Job Configuration: The job might have been set up with parameters that specify it should run in test mode.
  User Input: Sometimes, users may inadvertently select options that lead to a test run instead of a production run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Configuration: 
  
  Go to the transaction code SM37 to view the job logs.
  Look for the job that generated the error and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the job is not set to run in test mode. You can do this by checking the job's parameters and settings.
  
  
  
  Modify Job Parameters:
  
  If the job is indeed set to run in test mode, you will need to modify the job parameters to remove the test run option.
  This can usually be done in the job definition screen (transaction code SM36).
  
  
  
  Re-run the Job:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-schedule the job to run in the production mode.
  Monitor the job execution in SM37 to ensure it completes successfully.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the job settings or how to change them, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or technical team.
